Objectives of this chapter were to examine HME benchmarks and determine laggards in Human Resource Planning and Management (HRPM) programme at the institute. Methods of data collection included documentary review, participant observation and in-depth interview. Sample size was fifty students and two lecturers as key informants. Judgmental sampling procedure was used for respondents. The chapter found HME benchmarks in HRPM including: integrated curriculum consisting of stakeholders' collaboration in curriculum formulation, holistic vision, mission, objectives, multidisciplinary modules, integrative assessment methods, active pedagogical learning methods and conducive learning space.
